Devyani Khobragade case: UN has cleared her accreditation request, as 1st step to defuse crisis
- 5 years ago
The Americans in India have asked for more time to comply with a slew of retaliatory orders issued by New Delhi after Ms Khobragade's arrest and humiliation. US diplomats and consulate staff are likely to surrender their ID cards today, but have reportedly asked for more time to furnish staff salary details as demanded by India.
Sources say India took a tough stand to show that it means business and special privileges to diplomats are based on reciprocity.
Ms Khobragade, posted as Deputy Consul General in New York, was arrested on December 12 over allegations that she paid her domestic help Sangeeta Richard a fraction of American minimum wages and lied on the woman's visa application.
